Said to Have $4OO,OOO of the Wheeler
 Papers New York Bankers Have
 Agents Here and Make Certain Claims
 -ssR1te Flying PaPer.S
 From prominent financial sources here 1t was learned last evening that there is good reason for believing that Hartford banks hold more of the paper of E. s. Wheeler & Go. than the New Haven banks do and that the paper held by the latter is not as likely to 'span out' well as that held by the New
 Haven banks. It was thought that Hartford
 banks held from $400, ,000 to $500, ,000 of the paper. Several banks in New York city hold much of the paper also. The Exchange and the Western are named as owing the later. It is said that some of the Hartford banks hold considerable of what is known as ''kite flying paper" A good deal of the paper held by the New Haven bank is the accept ances of good houses and therefore nothing to worry about.
 The workmen at the wire mill have pub lished card signed Committee" and read ing as follows:
 "A committee from the employees of E. s. Wheeler & Co.,, which represent four hun dred men, hereby tender our sympathy to Mr. Wheeler in his present difficulties, and would state that MT. Wheeler had always been very prompt in paying his workmen." :" Reports say the firm owes but very little to European parties, and that the loss by the failure falls chiefly on New York banks. Attorney Louis Bristol and Johnson T. Platt were in consultation with Receiver Gal pin yesterday morning. MT. Bristol repre- sents Ritter, Peabody -65 Co.,, and MT. Platt Heidelbach & Ichelheimer. Both of these firms paid for Mr. Wheeler's goods, as before mentioned. They now claim that as long MT. Wheeler has not paid them what goods remain unsold are their property.
 Yesterday morning Henry c. White, the attorney who represents Receiver Galpln, found that there was work enough to keep dozen lawyers busy and called in as associate counsel filling & Webb.
